Whether that is online through a post that resonates with your stage of life or attending one of our Des Moines Moms Blog Events, it is our passion to create a sense of community and connectedness both on- and offline. 

In 2017, DMMB hosted 5 events in the Des Moines community with over 500 attendees! We hope in 2018 to get to meet more of you.

In the meantime, here is a recap of our 2017 events. 

Mom’s Night Out at Jasper WineryMom's Night Out at Jasper Winerymom's night out jasper winery

Moms Night Out at Jasper Winery has become our signature spring event. It was a sold-out event, complete with yummy food, wine and lots of girlfriend time. 


“Get Pampered” at Coachlight Clinic & Spa

If a quieter evening, full of relaxation is more of your thing – we had an event for that too! Mommas got a chance to don a fluffy robe and enjoy a massage or facial and relax in the amenities of Coachlight Clinic and Spa at our “Get Pampered” event. 


“Get Crafty” with The Knotty Nail

Becky Pospisal, owner and founder of The Knotty Nail, helped all of us pound out our frustrations in the making of the coolest state of Iowa string art. Then we took a break and enjoyed wine and scrumptious cupcakes courtesy of Cupcake Addict. “Get Crafty” was a great evening!

Moms and Mimosas recap

We wrapped up the year with our final event, Moms and Mimosas, at Compass Financial Services in West Des Moines. Moms took home some fabulous swag, received chair massages from Coachlight Clinic munched on breakfast pastries provided by Main Street Cafe & Bakery and sipped mimosas and other grown-up drinks provided by Decadent Saint Winery.  

Thank you for joining us in 2017. We hope to see you again in 2018 and stay tuned for more fabulous events!
